The Napoli midfielder, recently named <em>Serie A Player of the Month<\/em> for October, brings authority and tactical maturity to the Lions\u2019 midfield. His presence, alongside Brighton\u2019s Carlos Baleba and FC Lorient\u2019s Arthur Avom, gives Cameroon a dynamic and balanced core capable of dictating play against any opposition.<\/p>\n<p>Patrick Soko\u2019s inclusion further energises the attacking options, joining Bryan Mbeumo, Vincent Aboubakar, and rising star Karl Etta Eyong, whose sharp form continues to catch attention in camp.<\/p>\n<p>The team will hold its second training session this evening at 6PM at their base in Rabat, as Brys and his technical staff fine-tune tactical details ahead of Thursday\u2019s clash. The focus remains on maintaining intensity, refining attacking transitions, and strengthening defensive coordination.<\/p>\n<p>For Marc Brys, this semifinal is not only a test of preparation but also of unity. The Belgian coach is keen to see his side translate the positive atmosphere in camp into performance when they face S\u00e9bastien Desabre\u2019s well-organised DR Congo side.<\/p>\n<p>With most of the squad now assembled and spirits high, Cameroon\u2019s preparations are entering their decisive phase \u2014 all geared toward taking one step closer to a return to the global stage.<\/p>\n<p><em>Cameroon face DR Congo on Thursday, 13 November 2025, at 8PM local time at Stade El-Barid in Rabat \u2014 a crucial hurdle on the road to the 2026 FIFA World Cup.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Copyright\u00a92025 kick442.com-Cameroon<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>All rights reserved.
